4. What does it mean if my child is 'waitlisted'?
a. Our league has a certain number of confirmed teams available for registration. If your child is waitlisted it is because we need to wait until there are enough waitlist registrants for there to be enough players for another team.
5. My child is new to baseball/softball, will this be too challenging for him/her?
a. We have a variety of talent within the league and work hard to promote teamwork and leadership. Each practice session focuses on building basic skills. While baseball is a hard sport to master, your child will not be alone as all players are developing.

h. Bat (Optional but recommended: Must be USA Approved)
7. If my child has never played before or if I have a “safety” concern regarding him/her playing in a specific division, what do I do?
a. Please discuss your concerns with a Board member at registration.
b. If your concerns arise after they have been placed with a team, please discuss with your child’s Manager, the League President or Player Agent. Safety is always our biggest concern for all players. There are, however, age requirements/restrictions set in place by “Little League International”, our league’s governing body, and we will do our best to come up with a suitable solution for your player.
8. When will I be notified about my team and the game schedule?
a. Teams and schedules are finalized after registration closes. In the Spring we host a Player Showcase so that each player can demonstrate their skills. You will be contacted with team and practice information about a week after the player showcase.
b. CLL coaches and administrators will share updates and important information via email and WhatsApp.
9. How many practices and games will I have per week?
a. Generally, TeeBall, Coach Pitch, and Player Pitch will have 1 practice and 1-2 games during the week. Majors and Juniors typically have 2 practices per week and travel within the greater Orlando area for games.
Practice dates and times are set by each individual team coach. Once teams are formed, your team coach will reach out to you with details on how the season will go for practices.
b. Game dates and times are set by the league and are created after all teams are finalized.
GENERALLY, tee ball plays on Saturday mornings, coach pitch plays on Thursday or Friday nights, player pitch plays on Thursday or Friday nights, Majors plays on Wednesday’s and Saturday’s and are likely to travel to teams outside of Celebration, Juniors & Seniors will likely have one week day and one weekend game. *These days are subject to change.
10. Are Board Members, Managers, Coaches, Team Moms, etc. compensated?
a. NO! CLL is run by volunteers who are NOT compensated. The League’s success is entirely dependent on our volunteers who donate their personal time to help make CLL successful.
b. If you like the way our League is run, thank every Board Member, Manager/Coach, Team Mom and volunteer that you see. If you have suggestions or ideas about how to make CLL even better, please share them directly with us and consider becoming a Board Member. We’d love an opportunity to improve our League with your help.
11. What if my child plays other team sports, or is involved in other outside activities. Can they still play in CLL?
a. Yes. We understand that many of our CLL players are also involved in other team sports, school activities, etc. These activities usually require a time consuming commitment, CLL also requires a commitment.
b. We ask that you use your best judgment when it comes to practices and games and discuss with your CLL Managers as well as other coaches or leaders at the beginning of the season. Most OUTSIDE ACTIVITY coaches or leaders will not expect you to miss a Little League game to attend OUTSIDE ACTIVITY practices or games. Practice time conflicts will need to be worked out between the parent and Managers at the beginning of each season.
